Match.com or Eharmony?

Which one is better?

I am trying to coax my beautiful, smart, funny, wonderful sister to join. She just cant seem to find anyone worthy of her in "real life" and I thought since shes shy, this may be a better way? I am afraid of weirdos though...LOL

I know people on here have met on sites like that..so I was wondering, is one better than the ever and if so, why? Thanks!

Re: Match.com or Eharmony?

Met my DH on Match.com but I heard from friends that its become a hook up joint- no one really serious about relationships but just wanting sex.

I have no experience with EHarmony other than my friend being directed to a mutal friend of ours that we both couldn't stand. We thought that was hilarious!

Re: Match.com or Eharmony?

Prior to meeting DH in 2004, I tried Match.com. I was living in the city, and I really felt like everyone I met from that site was just looking for sex.

Or just dating multiple people at the same time until something "better" came along.

I never did EHarmony because I wasn't patient enough to go through the whole application process/tests.

Re: Match.com or Eharmony?

I met DH on eharmony. But I found a lot of things about it annoying- for example, I didn't want to be matched with anyone younger (because I'd had no luck, just aggravation with younger guys) and I didn't want someone 10+ years older, but I couldn't change that feature. A lot of people I knew did eH and I was the only one I know of who had any luck.

My experiences with Match were similar to the PPs.

All of them make you weed out the bad, the good..the UGLY

Re: Match.com or Eharmony?

I met DH on matchmaker, but actually tried all 3.

Match YOU decide who you want to meet & can weed through all the people's profiles.

I believe on eharmony THEY determine your matches based on the extensive profile questions you answer. You get fewer matches but supposedly better matched people.

Match...met my ex husband and future husband on there. My two cousins did eharmony. One was engaged to a guy who bite her cat, that ended right then and there and the other one is a freak. MATCH.

Re: Match.com or Eharmony?

I met my current boyfriend on match. I know several people who have used Eharmony and didn't like it because it is a slow process and you can't search (they just send you matches).

Re: Match.com or Eharmony?

my sister has been dating and is now living with a guy that she met on Match- but it was after about 20 disasterous dates- just to warn you/your sister, you have to stick with it- there are good people out there, sometimes you just have to dig through the crap to find them

Re: Match.com or Eharmony?

I met DH on match. I tried eHarmony and went out on a date with one guy but he was SO not for me. I think eHarmony is cr@p with all of those questions. Plus, you can block people from seeing your photo until they reach a certain point in the questions. As if their answers will makeup for a lack of physical attraction.

So true, you have to stick thru the bad/decent/eh to find the mister right.
